On the other hand, if I begin to miss the Navy too much, I will tie two bricks together with a short length of line, toss it around my neck like binoculars, then go stand on the back porch on a rainy night from midnight 'till 4 am until the feeling passes. :lol:
You mean like this?

DD840 USS Glennon, a WW2 leftover serving in to the 1970s. My Dad’s ship.

Like many other sailors before me, when I left the Navy I found two oars, put them on my shoulder and started walking inland. I kept walking until I finally got to a place where someone asked me “what are those things on your shoulder?” I knew then I’d traveled far enough, this was the place I’d spend the rest of my life!

Looking at the pic showing the lane closure it will be noticed that it is in Great Britain. That sort of thing is not uncommon here - I am sure Tac and anyone else who has the misfortune of driving on British roads will agree. The only difference is there is that frequently there is no advisory sign.
A man is stopped by the police at midnight and asked where he’s going.
“I’m on the way to listen to a lecture about the effects of alcohol and drug abuse on the human body.”
The policeman asks, “Really? And who’s going to give a lecture at this time of night?”
“My wife”, comes the reply.
